50......Sept 2nd.....day # 192.....no rubber bands , no pit lane glitching.
And yes it was a letdown , clearly PD has dropped the ball on this.
Sept 2nd only 0.1 % of players had done it , almost three months later it's still only 0.1 %
and half of them probably did it via the pit lane glitch.
PD should be embarrassed by that stat.
Where's the "rare" car that should have been there, as in a car that can't be bought with credits or won on the daily wheel.
It's called "incentive".
I get the feeling PD are losing players over this because of a lack of rewards for doing long, time consuming achievements.
Just a few examples of what could/should be done here:
A rare drift car(s) for the drifters who acquire a 1,000,000 or 2,000,000 or 3,000,000 drift points.
A rare car(s) with a rare paint job on it for the players who create 1000-2000-3000 liveries.
A rare car(s) for players who acquire 1,000,000 or 2,000,000 or 3,000,000 mileage points.
A rare car(s) for players who acquire 250,000,000 and 500,000,000 and 1 billion prize credits.(I'm at 196 million and I've read that one player has over 400 million, so these numbers are not as off the wall as you may think, considering the game will be around for quite a few more years yet ).
A rare car(s) for the online sports mode racers who win a 1000-2000-3000 races.
It's all about incentive to want to play and acquire certain achievements with rewards that players want (rare cars ), it's a huge hook.
And i know for a fact it works, i play a game that was released in 2004, in 2008 they introduced an achievement / reward system like I've described.
It proved to be hugely popular and 10 years later it still is.
It has a player base of around 5,000,000 currently, at it's peak it was more than double that but considering it's not free to play and it still maintains that high number of players, they are definitely doing something right.
So, PD , i hope sometime next year to log on after an update and receive a rare car for hitting level 50 and I'll get to start working on levels 75 and 100. Cheers!
